Review of Thor: Ragnarok (2017) by Goo4You — 03 Nov 2017

This might be the absolute worst movie I have seen since Star Wars Episode 2. Never have I seen a company or owner of an intellectual property treat not only the product this badly, but to treat its fanbase like this is astonishing. Marvel took the last decade or so of these movies we've watched and flush them down the toilet with this abomination.

Nothing works in this movie, not within the confines of the movie, not within the confines of the narrative of the MCU. When did Thor turn into a stuttering, unsure dork? Why is Bruce Banner suddenly the stereotype of a Jewish guy from Queens? Did every single line have to be humor? Why did this thing have to exist!! It makes zero sense from start to finish. The end of Asgard was a foreboding moment in the age of ultron, one the audience knew to look forward to because of the Epic moments to come. RAGNAROK!!! We instead got campy Flash Gordon with a huge budget. I hated this movie with every fiber in my being. I feel betrayed as a fan of these movies. This epic narrative these movies have been building to is gone with this abortion. It's one thing to poke fun at yourself, it's another thing entirely when you poke fun at EVERYTHING you've done. Thor Ragnarok just unwound this entire franchise for me. The humor was forced, the "effects" were bad (The Hela fights were laughably bad. Like Matrix Reloaded bad). The Odin moment was god awful as was the Jane breakup. I don't say this often, but spare yourselves, don't go see this. Easily in my top five worst movies of all time.
